19-21 June

Resilience First and Cityforum are jointly hosting two half-day security summits (paying) and associated masterclasses (free) to coincide with, and add authoritative impetus to, the already well-established London IFSEC Exhibition in June this year. The theme will be ‘Securing the Open Society of 2030’.

The agendas for the summits and masterclasses are designed to address threats and responses in a number of key areas with which the UK and others are now grappling. They are also designed to develop thinking and potential lines of action in response to the safety, security and resilience consequences of a number of developments that will have a massive impact on the future nature of society. Agenda themes and a list of confirmed speakers can be viewed here.

Both the summits and the masterclasses will provide scope for discussion of business opportunities and partnership agreements in the domestic and overseas contexts.  These should interest delegates at the various events, and exhibitors will also find their commercial intelligences of value. Attendance at the summits also gives access to the main exhibition, and includes privileged seating at the associated masterclasses.

Registration:

For further details of the event and to register, please see here. For Resilience First members, there is a discount of 20% if the promotional code ‘LF2018’ is used when registering. Sponsorship options are available.
